WJD, I made some mods after seeing yours done.... I cut holes directly
to run wires (as you did), I will also cut holes from both sides so water can drain into centre. I will put a bilge pump there. I will also add a bilge pump in the bottom of the enclosed transom.
I will create a photo bucket album to show you the before, during and after.... She looks good, if I do say so myself....
I added a stainless T top, electronics, lights etc...... I'm doing wiring now, but should have pics up by this weekend.....
